Woman Suffers Injury After Dog Charges Officer

On June 11, 2015, at approximately 10:08 pm, officers were dispatched to 1817 Minnesota Avenue on the report of a woman being held against her will by armed acquaintances of a wanted homicide suspect. Numerous officers surrounded the residence at which time an unknown man opened the front door and immediately retreated into the house upon seeing the officers.

Officers shouted numerous commands for the occupants to come out. Moments later the front door opened and multiple people began to exit the house. One of the occupants was a woman who officers believed was the victim. They ordered her to an area in close proximity to the house when a pit bull burst out of the unsecured door and charged toward the group of officers.

One officer, Richard Foster II #1198, fired three shots at the pit bull. The dog was not struck, however the shots forced the dog to change its course, at which point it ran from the area. The shots hit loose gravel near the house. Moments later the woman alerted officers that she believed she had been shot. Officers assessed her injury and observed what appeared to be a cut to her left hand. She was transported to Riverside Methodist Hospital where medical personnel removed a small metal shaving from her “pinky” finger. She was released a short time later. No other injuries were reported.

No charges were filed. It was later determined the occupants inside the house were not being held against their will. Investigators are awaiting ballistic results to determine if the metal fragment came from the officer’s bullets.

This incident will be investigated by the Critical Incident Response Team (made up of specially trained investigators from the Homicide Units). The final investigative package will be forwarded to the Columbus Division of Police Firearms/Police-Involved Death Review Board and the Chain-Of-Command for review.
